Hampton Court

Hampton Court was the home of Henry the eighth who was king of England over 400 years ago! I met King Henry the eigth, and my cousin is King Henry the ninth, (the king at Hampton Court was really an actor but he seemed like the king). We went through a mazer but it was easy, we went in the "Woolsey closet ghost dog room" and went around the gardens where we saw some ducks, a swan and a wierd looking goose duck. We also saw some deer, the garden is 720 arces. We went into the knot garden and there was a big tunnel with vines on it which was about 120 yards. There was a grape vine that is in the Guinness book of records, its the oldest vine in the world and is over 200 years old, thats 100 years older than my house wow! it was huge and you could walk in this huge glass room and it was in there, it took up the whole room and was over the cieling, there were ladders to reach the top. We only got through a small section of Hampton court as it is so big, next time we come to England we will try and finish getting around.
